Understanding Nafta: Mexico, Free Trade, and the New North America

Rating:
Summary: Good review of Mexico, but soft on Canada
Review: Orme presents a very readable account of the many changes taking place in Mexico as they relate to Nafta and the environment leading up to it. The book mainly discusses how Mexico and the US are integrating and largely ignores Canada, which he feels was taken care of in the FTA.

Overall, a very good account and introduction.

Rating:
Summary: Good background study in how NAFTA affects Mexico.
Review: This book is about Mexico - with litte coverage of how NAFTA affects Canada. It presents Mexico and its circumstances in a realistic manner. It is well written and easy to read. We recommend it to our clients interested in learning more about the Mexican people and the national economy. John R. Jagoe, Director, Export Institute.
